Production of US $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle coins at the US Mint in the 1850s represented a crucial response to the California Gold Rush, which flooded the nation with precious metal requiring conversion into currency. The denomination, first minted in 1850, featured James B. Longacre’s design of Liberty wearing a coronet with thirteen stars. Known as the Liberty Coronet, this design was the longest-used on the $20 Double Eagle. Today, 1854 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Economic conditions in the United States in 1854 were marked by continued expansion and prosperity driven by railroad construction, western settlement, and agricultural exports, though tensions simmered beneath the surface. The completion of railway links connecting the East Coast to the Midwest facilitated unprecedented commercial growth, while California gold continued to bolster the money supply. However, speculation in land and railroad stocks was creating dangerous bubbles, and sectional disputes over slavery’s expansion into new territories increasingly disrupted economic cooperation between North and South, foreshadowing the Panic of 1857.
All 1854 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available in XF45 condition. Coins with this grade have light wear on the high points only, with some traces of mint luster. Multiple mint facilities, including Philadelphia, New Orleans, and the newly established San Francisco branch, struck these coins in substantial quantities to accommodate commerce in the rapidly expanding western territories, with the San Francisco Mint becoming particularly important after opening in 1854.
On the obverse of 1854 Liberty Double Eagles, you will find a depiction of Lady Liberty. Created by Longacre, the image shows Liberty in left-profile relief with a coronet crown on her head. The field includes 13 stars and the date of issue.
The reverse of the 1854 $20 Gold Double Eagle Coin comes with an image of the Great Seal of the United States. The bald eagle is shown in front-facing relief with the US national shield, the arrows of war, and the olive branch of peace.
